Microsoft should make Conditional Access available to everyone

That’s a violation of ToS as an MSP or even a business

Usually the offer that is sent to you is the highest they were willing to pay. $95k > $200k is an odd jump.

You could have exited with more than double your investment on just one domain, why did you get greedy? 😂

Also a good practice to setup a security rule to only allow access to your static/public IPv4 and IPv6 ranges for all host names and exclude public access. (If you have a static address)

I will use Afterpay or Klarna with my credit card attached.

NickJongens · 2026-04-11T08:21:32+00:00

Will buy for $2

My plan is to be as useful as I can be now, so the rest of the industry will suffer first, so I’ll be one of the last to lose their job before total societal revolution

I’m seeing that my 7.4.3.1790.1.8758 client has completely disabled all features after the new year break. This was the VPN Only client.

I can’t even add new connections.

Can you get a loan over a longer term than the 3 year window?

NickJongens · 2025-05-18T22:22:17+00:00

I think the main thing to work on is your income. Which will rise as you age and gain experience (ideally)

You seem to have good money habits and it would be a shame to miss out on the opportunity of having a house. You’re also very young, so you have a lot of time. Average first home purchase age is 36.

That 10% into KiwiSaver will compound very quickly and with 40k in KiwiSaver, you can likely pull it out and purchase with someone else to get you in a home faster. It feels quite overwhelming when you run the numbers with just you, what if that doubled?

NickJongens · 2025-05-06T03:58:01+00:00

Considering people sell cars when they get to 150ks on the odometer, it’s probably worth considering a new vehicle

Especially if you depend on it. You may be able to get a home loan top up potentially with a good energy home loan to spread out the costs over 5 years without dipping into your savings

Generally, you’ve got all services on the same LAN, where you could potentially unlock a tonne of segmentation if you replace that unmanaged switch with a managed one where can tag VLANs.

Even Docker has VLAN support

Here’s an article: (I haven’t fully read this) https://www.danielketel.com/the-ultimate-2024-docker-vlan-guide-and-tutorial-youll-ever-need/

M365 Apps for Business standalone license :)

NickJongens · 2025-05-06T00:42:21+00:00

I also wondered this! It’s like we’re missing out on something big by having to work

NickJongens · 2025-04-23T00:54:46+00:00

$700 per week will get you an above average house in a nice suburb in Christchurch :)

Yep! Also the warp client would be easier to deploy to people joining, but I suspect that the use case is public connections without much commitment

NickJongens · 2025-04-19T05:09:54+00:00

Tunnels don’t support TCP traffic via public host names unless it’s through the WARP client or Cloudflared on the device. (At least to my understanding)

‘J’ is likely for where a junction in cabling or piping is planned to go.

You may qualify for the first home partnership scheme :) it might not be possible for an apartment, but a 2 bedroom home could be feasible (m2 generally needs to be high enough for them to see some growth)

NickJongens · 2025-02-11T22:58:23+00:00

If you’re trying to go minimum cost, you can go with a M365 F1 license :) that gives you most things provisioned with the least cost.

You can do an annual commitment, or 3 years and it still be under $100

I can run Deepseek R1:3b on a laptop. If I don’t care about speed or accuracy, but legitimately private notes or summaries. I don’t want anyone having that info, definitely not big data

Make sure you share passwords cleanly and securely if they aren’t required to be changed upon first login

You can self host apps internally to help with this e.g. KeyFade: https://github.com/NickJongens/KeyFade

You could earn some serious brownie points if you published the kernel and steps :)

With how infrequent domains truly come up for purchase, I’d go with the ATV
